Girl in Red, White & Blue

Girl in Red, White & Blue - 16 x 12 Oil on canvas

This is a painting started at my weekly figure painting group, and finished at home. I am happy with everything except her face. It is a good likeness, but I just feel like it doesn't have the same painterly quality that the rest of the painting has. Overall I'm pretty happy with it and have entered it in a local art show.

I have missed a lot of days for the 30 in 30 challenge, and will miss some more I'm sure due to the craziness of life, so I am not going to worry about finishing it, I'll just post when I can. Possibly I will try again in January.

About Me

I received a BA in illustration at Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, then went on to work as an illustrator, graphic artist and art director.
After 20+ years in the commercial art field (and a brief relapse into full-time work), I decided to quit my job to go back to the more fulfilling field of fine art. I paint with a weekly figure painting group and try to paint on a daily basis.
I live in Southeast Michigan with my husband and three cats.
